I’ve been
cooped up in the house since Saturday battling acute sinusitis and acute
bronchitis. The prescription drugs I was
given yesterday following my doctor visit are finally starting to kick in.

So…this
morning I was surfing some of my favorite political cartoon sites and happened upon
one from Mike Lester that was so
damn funny I nearly pissed myself.

You can click
over there in a minute. It is a screen
cap of that ridiculous “event registry” page on you-know-who’s website that
became the brunt of jokes all across the dextrosphere and in Twitterdom. Next to it is you-know-who standing in the
middle of a pile of open cardboard boxes and a sea of toasters.

…if you think
Bush using his Constitutional authority to replace U.S. Attorneys is a giant
scandal, but shrug your shoulders at the federal government sending guns to
Mexico, where drug cartels use them to kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent, then
you are a hopeless partisan hack who is literally willing to overlook
murder to advance your political agenda.

What
if Hillary Clinton and a couple of deputies in the State Department, The
National Security Council, Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the
White House, and maybe Senators Durbin and Feinstein were all complicit in Fast
and Furious? What if Hillary led the strategic planning? What if the
administration wanted to restrict our Second Amendment rights and both she and
Barack Obama told us that 90% of the weapons used in crimes in Mexico came from
the United States…

As the
so-called Arab Spring brings yet another Islamic government hell-bent on
introducing Sharia law—rather than anything resembling freedom and democracy—it's
become glaringly
obvious that in its wake the world has not gotten better for anyone, save
medieval Muslim fanatics…and nobody knows it better than the almost 50%
that voted against Morsi this past weekend.

It's never a
bad thing when your enemies escape into a delusional state, to a world of their
making in which they are in complete control of everything. It makes it more
likely that they will cede at least some control over the real world. And it's
not only an admission of defeat, but of emotional and mental fragility. Adults
don't need to build fantasy worlds to escape the effects of their failures on
their precious self-esteem. That's
for overgrown children who are used to getting trophies for just showing up.

Within hours
of the Supreme Court’s ruling on Arizona’s immigration law, the errand boy sent
by grocery clerks used the bully pulpit to put more citizens at risk.

He issued a
directive telling Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security to refuse
many of the calls it will receive from Arizona Police reporting undocumented
Democrat voters illegal immigrants.

KPHO
Phoenix has the transcript of the statement issued by Napolitano today:

"I am
pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed that state laws cannot dictate
the federal government's immigration enforcement policies or priorities.”

“DHS remains
focused on enhancing public safety and the integrity of our border by
prioritizing enforcement resources on those who are in the country unlawfully
and committing crimes, those who have repeatedly violated our immigration laws,
and those who recently crossed our borders illegally.”

“The Court's
decision not to strike down Section Two at this time will make DHS's work more
challenging. Accordingly, DHS will implement operational enhancements to its
programs in Arizona to ensure that the agency can remain focused on its
priorities.”

“Over the past
three and half years, this Administration has dedicated unprecedented resources
to secure the border and to enforcing our nation's immigration laws in a firm
and reasonable fashion. We continue to urge Congress to pass comprehensive
reform because nothing short of a comprehensive solution will resolve the current
patchwork of immigration laws.”

“Finally, it
is important to note that today's Supreme Court decision will not impact the
memorandum I issued on June 15 related to prosecutorial discretion eligibility
for productive members of society who were brought to the United States as
children."

“In her time as
head of DHS, Napolitano has refused much-needed funds for her department, leveled unfounded
accusations at veterans and conservatives by labeling them as potential
terrorists, stopped worksite enforcement, refused Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s desperate
request for troops along his state’s border and continuously lobbied
for amnesty for this country’s enormous illegal alien population.”

“It is hard to
imagine why the Secretary of Homeland Security, who is charged with defending
this nation, would end a program which very effectively and efficiently removes
huge numbers of illegal aliens from this country. That is unless Madame Secretary
has another agenda…An agenda which directly conflicts with the interests of the
American people.”

“As though we
needed any more evidence, President Obama has demonstrated anew his utter
disregard for the safety and security of the Arizona people. Within the last
two hours, I have been notified the Obama administration has revoked the 287(g)
agreement under the authority of which Arizona law enforcement officers have
partnered with the federal government in the enforcement of immigration law.”

“Of course, it
is no coincidence that this announcement comes immediately on the heels of the
U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the constitutionality of the heart of
Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law: SB 1070. It’s worth noting that 68 law
enforcement entities in 24 states have functioning 287(g) agreements with the
federal government. But it appears the only agreements eliminated today were
those in Arizona, the state that happens to be on the front lines of America’s
fight against illegal immigration. We are on our own, apparently.”

“I suppose I
shouldn’t be surprised. The Obama administration has fought the people of
Arizona at every turn—downplaying the threat that a porous border poses to our
citizens, filing suit in order to block our State from protecting itself,
unilaterally granting immunity to tens of thousands of illegal aliens living in
our midst, and now this. Still, the disarmament of Arizona’s 287(g) agreements
is a new low, even for this administration.”

“Since 2006,
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security credits the 287(g) program with
identifying nearly 300,000 potentially-removable aliens nationwide. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement has trained and certified more than 1,500 state and
local officers to assist in the enforcement of immigration law, including many
in Arizona. In fact, even as the President was wiping out Arizona’s 287(g)
agreements, the ICE website itself continued to herald the collaborative
approach of the 287(g) program, noting, ‘Terrorism and criminal activity are
most effectively combated through a multi-agency/multi-authority approach
that encompasses federal, state and local resources, skills and expertise.’"

“The
President’s action should be of concern to all Americans. This fight is not
over. President Obama may disregard Congress. He may target individual states
like Arizona. He may generally act with impunity. But he is not above judgment—and the American people will have theirs
very soon.” [Emphasis mine.]

“The President
has said that the new program is “the right thing to do” in light of Congress’s
failure to pass the Administration’s proposed revision of the immigration laws.
Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But to say, as the Court does,
that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of federal
immigration law that the President declines to enforce boggles the mind.”

It seems that
the butt-ugly member of the Democratic Kennel Club, Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
will not be back as Chairman of the DNC following the November elections. Pity.

The
delightfully distrastrous douche has fallen out of favor with the White House.

A source for The
Shark Tank believes that Wasserman Schultz will be forced to resign behind
closed doors and then stage a press event in which she will tell Americans that
her job as the DNC chair was a temporary one and that she is moving on with her
congressional career.

The Shark Tank
cites a report from Fox
News on the friction that exists between the West Wing and the yapping
yenta:

Apparently,
President Obama had discussions with the DNC Chairwoman regarding her approach,
even telling her, “Don’t forget you work for me.”

“It’s not
about you, it’s about me”.—attributed to President Barack Obama to Debbie
Wasserman Schultz, as per our source.

The problem that
the President has is this—he can’t fire her, at least at this juncture.
If President Obama were to remove Wasserman Schultz from her post he
would be weakening his own position, as it would be very hard to find someone
that is both in lock-step with his agenda and willing to run cover for him as
she has done.

Second, this
would be a clear indication to the public that there are real problems within
the hierarchy of the Democratic Party.

It’s no secret
that Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is one
of the most polarizing politicians in the country.

Exit
question: Did her knee pads wear out?

As a side
note: A delicious cat fight could be
emerging according to The
National Journal: “If Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi of California decides to relinquish House
Democrats’ top spot after November—a possibility oft-discussed in the
cloakroom, hallways, and Capitol subway—the similarly polarizing Wasserman
Schultz may make a play for her post.”

From The
Daily Caller—On Thursday the Obama-Biden re-election blog debuted
a new option for supporters to help raise campaign cash.

“Got a
birthday, anniversary, or wedding coming up?” the post asks. “Let your friends
know how important this election is to you—register with Obama 2012, and ask
for a donation in lieu of a gift. It’s a great way to support the President on
your big day. Plus, it’s a gift that we can all appreciate—and goes a lot
further than a gravy bowl.”

Any event that
you register must have a donation goal of $50 or more according to The Daily Caller.

“By requesting
a donation in lieu of a typical gift, you’re helping make sure Obama 2012
organizers and volunteers have the clipboards, pamphlets, and gas money they
need to get the word out about the choice we have to make in November. And
you’re saving your guest the hassle of curling a ribbon or guessing your size.”

Did Teddy
Roosevelt have Teh Won in mind when he quipped, “He wants to be the bride at
every wedding, the corpse at every funeral, and the baby at every christening?”

It has been
confirmed that a few days remain before a massive air/land/sea exercise gets
underway in the Eastern Mediterranean off the Coast of Syria, led by Russia and
including Iran, Syria and China.

Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice president of the Conference
of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, reporting from Jerusalem
says that the Russians are backing the Assad regime entirely, and that
the Russia maneuver means that the P5+1
talks in Moscow will go nowhere. Iran has no reason to bend with
Russia's support so massive and aggressive.

These “wargames”
demonstrate that the NATO card played in Libya will not be played again.
Russia believes that the U.S. betrayed the agreement reached with
Gadhafi, and Russia will not be fooled again. Putin plays a strong card.
It’s “game on” for the Obama administration.

“Pressure increased on Russia over the weekend, when the
United Nations suspended its unarmed monitoring mission in Syria out of concern
for the monitors’ safety. The move was widely interpreted as a challenge to
Russia to intervene with Assad to preserve a U.N. role Moscow sees as a brake
on any armed foreign intervention.”

“Meanwhile, Obama’s leverage and options are limited.”

“The United States has refused to arm anti-Assad rebels, in
part to avoid confrontation with Russia, which has armed the Syrian regime for
years. Although Moscow fears one, there is little chance of a military campaign
like the one that led to the ouster of Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi last
year.”

“Russia has angrily charged that the U.S. and other nations
went beyond the bounds of the United Nations Security Council humanitarian
mandate in Libya, and have blocked U.S. efforts to win an arms embargo or other
tougher Security Council measures on Syria now.”

“In the days leading up to the G-20, Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton angered Russia by charging that it was equipping the Syrian
government with attack helicopters that could be used against civilians. She
later acknowledged they were helicopters already owned by Syria that were being
repaired in Russia, but the U.S. has let the charge of possible use against
civilians stand.”

Writing at The
Hill, Juan Williams, the squishy shill for President
“Tee-Em-Up” believes, “Every political strategist working the fall
elections sees a game changer coming by the end of the month. That’s when the
Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of President Obama’s signature
legislative accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act.”

“The Democrats
have a nuclear option in this political game if the high court throws out the
healthcare law as unconstitutional.”

“That
blowup-the-system button, not pushed since FDR’s attempt to stack the court
with Democrats during the New Deal, is for Obama to use the bully pulpit of the
White House, and the national stage of a presidential campaign, to launch a
bitter attack on the current court as a corrupt tool of the Republican right
wing.”

“It is a move
that could energize Democrats and independents even as Republicans celebrate a
major legal victory. Some Democrats, sensing a political windfall, can’t wait
to start the offensive.”

“In her ACS
remarks, Ginsburg suggested that she might be on the dissenting side of the
case. ‘I have spoken on more than one occasion about the utility of dissenting
opinions, noting in particular that they can reach audiences outside the court
and can propel legislative or executive change,’ said Ginsburg, in the context
of a 2007 pay discrimination case.”

“Most
tellingly, she touched upon the key question that I believe the Court is still
working through: what to do with the law if the individual mandate is indeed
found to be unconstitutional.”“My sources
(which I freely admit to be third-hand) suggest that Kennedy will side with the
conservatives and strike down the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that nearly
every American must buy health insurance. The key question is: how much of the
rest of the law should be struck down along with it?”

“Ginsburg
wittily put it this way: ‘If the individual mandate, requiring the purchase of
insurance or the payment of a penalty, if that is unconstitutional, must the
entire act fall? Or, may the mandate be chopped, like a head of broccoli, from
the rest of the act?’”

“My understanding—again,
from third-hand sources—is that this question of severability is the subject of
intense debate among the justices, even now. It’s entirely unclear whether the
Court will strike down the mandate and two related provisions—what I’ve called the
“strike
three” scenario; or take down the entirety of Title I, where the law’s
restructuring of the private insurance market resides; or overturn the whole
law. Indeed, it is probable that the Court has not yet decided how it will rule
on this question.”

In any event,
those in the know believe the decision will be handed down on June 25.

In other news,
New
York Magazine reveals, “The Obama campaign announced today that it has
picked John Kerry to serve as Mitt Romney's stand-in during President Obama's debate
preparation. Kerry was chosen as Obama's sparring partner partly because he
knows Romney's life and career so well; partly because he, as
the Washington Post writes, ‘has long been considered one of the Democratic
Party’s most skilled debaters’; and partly because the robot dad from the Duracell battery commercials
had other commitments."

The decision
of nine million people will ripple far beyond the craggy tip of the Balkan Peninsula
they inhabit. An entire union of nations
will be affected.

The Syriza
Party, which had tapped into a vein of deep anger over the plunging living
standards faced by many Greeks, had wanted to rip up Greece’s international
bailout deals and roll back the new taxes, job cuts and pension cuts imposed in
the last two years.

That plan will
have to wait. The New Democracy Party has the first shot at forming a new
majority in Greece’s Parliament. If they
don’t succeed, Syriza will doubtless go back to that poisoned well of rage.

The Greeks are
under no illusion. To keep bankruptcy at
bay and have any chance of survival, the birthplace of democracy must accept
the EU-IMF rescue loans and punishing austerity policies—it is little more than
a choice between bad and worse.

Be careful when you demand that
people in power “do something”, they do nothing that is not to their own
benefit and usually it is never to yours.

Apparently
even the folks at MoveOn have at
least one scruple left when they complain about a Democrat as a racist and
an anti-Semite.

I watched
Obama’s “rather full discussion” of the state of economy, resisting the urge to
commit seppuku. What I heard was lethargic script reading. He said nothing we
didn’t already know. Obama was about as
lively as a dead fish…

Tell me folks,
are George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Spike Lee, Will Smith,
Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres and Cher who you look too for advice or
direction on which way this country goes? Yeah,
me neither.

Not only is
Biden the most dispensable member of the President's cabinet, Slow
Joe also fancies himself a foreign policy expert—never mind the fact he's
consistently been on the wrong side of history for 40 years now—and is widely known
as a guy who doesn't know when to shut his mouth, type-cast
for taking the fall when the time comes- but note that he's been awfully quiet lately.

If we're going
to defeat Obama in 2012, it should be with the truth, not hype. Obama talked in
grand terms to get elected in 2008. He's done the same thing with regard to the
economy—talking big and producing nothing. Hispanics, along with all Americans,
should be offended by Obama's latest stunt destined to bring about relatively
little substantive change, except to perhaps make
him more popular with some voters he needs to win re-election for little
more than, as noted above, "just words."

Assisted by a
biased media, Barack Obama has turned his back on more than six decades of
American-Israeli friendship.

This video,
produced by Accuracy in Media,
documents President Obama's often hostile, one-sided pressure on Israel. It
also shows how the President will do anything to ensure his own chances for
re-election, even if it means allowing Iran to continue developing nuclear
weapons while it plays a cynical game of stalling and deception.

Ask any
serviceman how many milestone events in their lives they have missed due to
deployment and without batting an eye, you will hear tales from these dad’s who
have missed the birth of a child, countless birthdays and anniversaries,
graduations and holiday’s like Thanksgiving or Christmas. Sure, you might
detect the wistful look in their eye as they recount the wonder of meeting
their child for the first time after a long hard tour away from home, but you
will also note the unmistakable tone of satisfaction which comes only from
knowing that their sacrifice makes a difference. Many of our Deployed Dads will
be celebrating Father’s Day alone this year, and for some it may be their very
first Father’s Day as a dad.

They are proud to do their job, making sure their kids and everyone
else’s are being watched over and protected by the greatest troops the world
has ever known.

Let’s make sure these brave dads are looked after as well.

You can help
make the daily routine of our troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq a little
more bearable and thank them for their services all at the same time.

Conservative
bloggers like me loved Andrew Breitbart.
What Andrew loved most was our troops.
In his honor, won’t you send a Care Package to our troops? The campaign goes through July 12th. Thank you so very much.

In the 1988
presidential election, the Democratic Party nominee was Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis. Within his party he was known as the
“Massachusetts Miracle,” but the general public viewed him as weak on military
matters.

The Dukakis
campaign, taking a page from Margaret Thatcher’s playbook, decided that if the
British Prime Minister could score a photographic
coup that would ultimately help win her reelection, then “Duke” Dukakis
would climb aboard an M1 Abrams tank outside a General Dynamics plant in front
of reporters.

The move ended
up being a massive public relations bungle that blew up in his face. Dukakis was widely mocked for what was
perceived as feckless warlike posturing.
After that blunder, whenever he appeared in public, someone would
invariably ask him, “Did you get here in a tank?”

The Dukakis
tank stunt was supposed to counter his rival, George H.W. Bush’s dashing military
career as a highly decorated WWII fighter pilot.

The adoring
throngs of followers of the errand boy sent by grocery clerks in 2008 are fewer
now in 2012. What has happened to their hero?

The American
economy is in the crapper, unemployment hovers above 8 percent with 22 million
without jobs and another 48 million on welfare.
“Headwinds” are the cause of the calamitous economic outlook and the
national security leaks that are springing out of his regime are red flags that
his reelection is in peril.

The New York Post notes that “most
casual observers have concluded by now that Team Obama has turned The New York Times’ front page into a
national-security newsletter—spilling such top-secret nuggets as America’s role
in creating the Stuxnet virus that attacked Iran’s nuclear program, news of
that al Qaeda bomb plot in Yemen last month, operational specifics of the SEAL
raid that sent Osama bin Laden to his eternal reward—in such detail that future
operations may have been precluded and Obama’s oversight of a ‘kill list’ of
alleged terrorist targets for drone strikes.”

“Why else
would they want to do this, except to enhance the image of the president six
months before the election?” Sen. John McCain said in an interview with The
Weekly Standard last week. “Why else reveal the name of this Pakistani
doctor? You can only draw one conclusion. The purpose of all these leaks is to
tell a story about a brave, lonely warrior with all this awesome
responsibility.”

That brave,
lonely warrior angle is the key, I think, to the leaks. Neither
Romney nor Obama have a record of military service. Romney avoided military service at the height
of the fighting in the Vietnam War after high school by seeking and receiving
four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records.

Obama, as we
all know, did not serve in the military either. He was a child during the
Vietnam conflict and did not enlist when he was older.

So, there you
have it. The errand boy sent by grocery
clerks believes if he politicizes intelligence he can burnish his résumé and win
back the hearts of the moonbats who are peeling away from him in droves.

Sunday, June 10, 2012

The errand boy
sent by grocery clerks has talked about them at least seventeen times in the
past three years.

That’s how
many times the Republican National Committee has recorded the president talking
about those headwinds on tape—Obama on a factory floor, Obama in the Rose
Garden, Obama in the Oval Office, Obama with Angela Merkel and Obama with a
voter at a coffee-counter—“headwinds” again and again and again.

Along
came Barack Obama, one of ACORN's very own "community
organizers" and lawyers, and Hillary slipped under the train, reduced to a
babbling mouthpiece for Obama's unique Poke-An-Ally-In-The-Eye brand of
socialist foreign policy.

She is a
pathological liar, just like the President. This is the point at which nothing
matters any more. Nothing. We want to pretend we are living decent lives and
that we are only dealing with bad things like liars and thieves part of the
time, but we are lying to ourselves. We are dealing with liars and thieves
nearly every second of every day and the fantasy that we are living decent
lives exists only in our heads. The rest of the waking world is just plain
atavistically evil. Do I exaggerate? I don’t think so…

"You
have vicious people who are working for the president—not the president
[himself]—who are saying that Corey Booker—one of the great supporters of
President Obama’s policies—is ‘dead’ because he’s giving the president good
advice, disagreeing with the Kool-Aid drinking people in the campaign who think
the way to win the presidency is to trash the other guy rather than to defend
your own guy’s record…”

So here I am,
someone helping pay this jerk’s salary and
I can’t see his tweets? It seems more than a little childish for the
President of the United States (or his handlers) to be blocking access to an
account followed by over 16 million people. We assume it’s a staffer
behind this. If it’s Obama himself, we’ve got much larger problems than we
thought. Does one little blogger really get under their skin that much? If so,
mission accomplished.

The media
doesn’t tell the truth anymore, it’s up to citizen journalists who believe in
free speech and truth telling to make sure that we as a society do not descend
into the dark hole of lies. Free
Speech is under attack today.

The other kids
on the Web are pointing out that more votes were cast in the American Idol
finale than in the last presidential election…What I would
add is that they elected a better man on American Idol…more talented, more
experienced, more humble, and cute as a button.
